What is the ruling regarding a husband saying to his wife, "If you don't like me, go to your mother," if this statement is repeated three or more times, and then the husband says that he does not recall his intention at the time of saying it, and he swears that he did not intend divorce?

Divorce does not occur through allusive expressions if the husband denies his intention of divorce by them, because divorce does not occur with doubt. The husband's statement is considered authoritative in these matters because he best knows his own intention.
